helenslunch, to privacy in How to prevent link hijacking on sites like Facebook, Reddit and Twitter?
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

It removes the trackers from the ends of URLs

These are not tracking links in the conventional sense where they append tracking data to the legitimate link. They just hijack the link that someone else posts and replace it with an entirely new tracking link with a l.facebook.com domain.

No link cleaning software I have found works because of this.

Wow. I never would have guessed that people would be upset that they couldn’t watch ads.

As per usual, the explanation is corporate shitfuckery.

Video explanation

tl;dr the company Taylor manufactures the ice cream machines to fail without any explanation or diagnosis process, then charge wildly exorbitant fees to fix them, and cut McD’s in on the profit. Some franchises found ways around this and McD’s just ordered them to stop. So the franchises just leave them broken as often as possible.

What’s wrong with this, exactly?

helenslunch, (edited ) to selfhosted in So SBCs are shit now? Anything I can do with my collection of Pis and old routers?
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

SBC (specifically RPis) got more expensive. x86 got more powerful, more importantly more efficient, and cheaper. Also X86 has more software built for it than ARM.

There are a few X86 SBCs now though.

If you already have SBCs and they’re doing what you need, I see no reason to switch.

helenslunch, to piracy in I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

LOL how does one go about that, exactly?

Do you walk into the dealer and state affirmatively “I am not buying a car here because I don’t want a subscription!” and then turn around and walk out?

Won’t matter. The company knows you don’t want this. They also know that enough other people will pay for it that it won’t matter. These subscriptions are not new. If people put their foot down and refused to pay for them they would go away, but the opposite it happening.

Sorry.

helenslunch, to selfhosted in Self-hosted or personal email solutions?
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

I don’t give my personal email address to literally anyone. Everyone gets an alias.

Once someone gets your personal email address and leaks it, there is no way to stop spam. You cannot delete your personal address because it is your account identity.

Firefox Relay, AnonAddy, SimpleLogin, all great services.

I have a business email address that I’m just unfortunately stuck digging through spam.

@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

AppImages suck because I can’t pin them to my dashboard, can’t set them to open at startup and can’t set them as default apps for the appropriate filetypes.

helenslunch, to piracy in Ways to pirate music as convenient as Spotify?
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

This person gave up on pirating MP3s because it was too complicated and the top suggestion is to start a homeserver. LOL you guys are woefully out of touch.

helenslunch, to memes in This is literally the internet nowadays without an adblock
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

That’s because it’s built on top of uBlock. If you click on the extension it even has the uBlock logo. It’s literally just uBlock except it clicks on ads in the background. It even tells you how much projected money you cost them for clicking their shitty ads. And the websites gets paid. Only the advertisers get shafted.

Honestly I’m astonished it’s not more popular.

helenslunch, to piracy in I am pouring one out to this little champ. Stripping HDCP and letting me... archive streaming services from 2016-2023 RIP
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

I’m convinced it has something to do with appeasing ignorant investors.

helenslunch, to selfhosted in Sounds like Haier is opening the door!
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Haha yeah there are other, more reliable methods but the “phone as a key” is also super convenient when it works properly, which is most of the time. It just would be a lot smarter if it worked locally.

helenslunch, (edited ) to opensource in Raspberry Pi is now manufacturing 70,000 Pi 5s per week, will surge to 90,000 in February
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Of course the pi 4 is still part of the product range. It’s still being actively manufactured and sold.

Its a 5-year old product. With 5 year old specs.

As far as memory size, that wasn’t part of your original complaint.

Yes I also didn’t specify a clock speed, storage size, network speed, etc. What I meant was a modern version of an old product with similarly modern specs.

$35 in 2012 is $47 today

And yet the Pi5 starts at $60.

You’re also missing the other half of this conversation where other SBCs have come way down in price.

Le Potato, Orange Pi, Zima products, Rockchip, not to mention all the X86 mini PCs, old office PCs, etc.

helenslunch, to selfhosted in Help with NGINX? so close...
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Awww yeah, that did it man, thanks
